This is a large room with it's own bathroom, closet, flat screen TV with cable, a comfy queen size bed and all the comforts of home, including parking. You can ride your bike to USF - only 1.5 mile - and our street is very quiet and peaceful. Wifi complementary!

ที่พัก

The space is super large with the suite measuring 13' X 18 and it has its own bathroom and queen size bed, so it's private and very quiet. Our bedroom is at the other end of the hall and there is a main bathroom next to our room. The kitchen, living room and front room are at the other end of the house.

Alayne travels with two dogs (Gio and Mollie) so they are not always here. They are NEVER allowed in bedrooms and should not even attempt to enter your suite.

Sometimes they bark at the garbage man. They are very conscientious guards of the A&A Airbnb; however, if they annoy you, let us know.

We have a kitchen with a new stove and washer/dryer in the garage.

Generally Alex is available to give information about the area, attractions, beaches, hiking, etc. We like to give tours of Ybor and downtown, especially the University of Tampa campus (Henry B Plant Hotel). We will be around most of the time but we often have commitments with friends.

This neighborhood is inhabited by college professors, teachers and next door is a singer/songwriter. It is a very quiet area and pretty chill. We have a public golf course within walking distance. It's actually a good place to bike. We often walk to the CVS or the Walgreens because we like to walk. It's about 1/2 mile.

You have access to the whole house, including kitchen, front room,lanai in backyard, living room (with internet streaming TV, Blu-ray DVD and Sonos speaker), kitchen and washer/dryer (garage). There is free parking.

We will respect your wishes on interaction but normally feel free to ask questions or seek clarifications. We want you to have FUN.

This part of Temple Terrace is very natural, with many old oak trees that line the streets and provide much-needed shade. We are close to the Temple Terrace golf course and the area is super walkable. We often walk the dogs to get groceries or the CVS. Nearby is a cool "french brunch" place, a funky coffeeshop, sushi, italian and great middle eastern food.

Our public transportation is ok, there is a local bus stop 1 block from the house.

Tampa is working - very slowly - on this issue and we believe we will see progress in the near future. Meanwhile, we recommend you rent a car,Uber, bike, run-walk or even skate to get around easier. We are working on a loaner bike but not there yet.

This house has an amazing vibe to it. I wish I could claim I did something that merits this but actually it's one of the reasons we bought it in the first place. Enjoy the house- it really feels like home. You'll see.

Don't forget this is a dog-friendly house and the dogs are hosts too! :)

This house has an amazing vibe to it. I wish I could claim I did something that merits this but actually it's one of the reasons we bought it in the first place. Enjoy the house- it really feels like home. You'll see.

Don't forget this is a dog-friendly house and the dogs are hosts too! :) That being said if they bother you please speak up - we won't be offended because we know we are like all parents and often do not always see our "kids' faults".

We operate by the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

That being said, please keep your lines of communication open with us if there are special circumstances.

Rules:1. Please do not bring other people into our home without first clearing it with us. 2. Use of the kitchen and washer/dryer is available, ask for any instructions. 3. We don't care what time you come in but please be quiet. Remember there are dogs here and they will probably bark.

The hosts made me feel at home from day one. I arrived much later than scheduled and they kindly flexed their schedule to reflect that.
The place is as described, roomy, clean and has quality facilities.
The road is quiet, but is still very close to local businesses.
Will book again :)

Alex and Alayne were fabulous! We really enjoyed our time in their home. The room is very spacious and the bathroom is terrific! The huge shower is amazing! Plus, tons of conveniences in your room. Overall, our first experience with Air BNB was really terrific.

Alex and Alayne were great hosts. The room was comfortable and clean. I loved the aroma of fresh coffee brewing each morning. They were very helpful regarding things to do in the area. Their neighborhood was nice and quiet. It was very convenient for us as we were attending a graduation at USF. I would highly recommend their place to others.

We are a couple, Alayne (pronounced "ah-lane") and Alexander (Alex), who love people, pets, travel and explorations. We are both originally from the Northeast (Alayne from PA and Alex from NYC) but we have lived in Florida for a long time. Our home is open to people from all walks of life and orientations. We support many causes and welcome LGBT, alternative and older/younger travelers. Whatever your life path, we support your desire to follow it.
Alayne is an anthropologist- professor/non-profit person who works Part time in Miami and Tampa, so she is not always in Tampa. Alex is a student (NOT Alayne's student) in Tampa studying sociology. He also works with Uber and Lyft. We have two very unique dogs, Giovanni (Gio) and Mollie. Gio is a gray poodle who is at least as smart as a 5 year old human and as sensitive. Mollie is a "Miamian" who has a punky fauxhawk and is a bit less smart than her brother but is a totally beautiful terrier mix. These two are very friendly and you will realize that these dogs really think YOU are their special guest and that YOU came only to visit them. If you are not a dog-lover that will just make them want to convince you that you should be.
Our home is comfortable, eclectic and has a lot of ethnic folk art from our travels. There is a LOT of Mexican and Southwest influence here. Alex is a fan of organic foods and we both love to cook. We generally are pescaterians or vegetarians but not vegan. We are fans of good quality COFFEE and TEAS. We have a new stove and a small microwave because we generally do not microwave but you are free to use it. Our refrigerator delivers filtered water and all the water in the house is run through an outside filter.
We are offering the master suite which is large, with its own bed and it's own private bath. Alex will generally be your amazing host, although Alayne, when in Tampa is ALSO always up for a tour of Tampa or showing out-of-towners around. He likes to make French Press coffee in the AM. We have a washer and dryer you can use in the garage, just ask.
